Jealousy can be defined as the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, sadness, and disgust. There’s no doubt that everyone experiences some level of jealousy at some time or another. For the majority of us, these feelings pass quickly and without any real harm. However, when jealousy gets out of hand it can destroy any relationships. These relationships could include friendships, and romances. There may have been a time as a child when you felt jealous because you believed your best friend wanted to spend more time with someone else. Perhaps in later life you experienced a pang of jealousy when your friend seemed to want to spend more time with her boyfriend than with you. By being jealous, you actually develop a selfish attitude, and sacrifice what may have become your lifelong friendship. Anyone who has ever been in a serious relationship has probably felt the green-eyed monster creep into his or her thoughts at one time or another. Jealousy can often make you act out against your partner even if your partner is innocent and has no idea why you are angry or giving them the cold shoulder. It also takes away from your quality time together as it would undoubtedly lead to numerous fights whereby you only focus on each others' negative qualities. Furthermore, you end up spending all of your day foolishly thinking up which ways your partner might be cheating on you. Before you know it, the greater part of your relationship will be spent on what could be happening rather than what is happening. Jealousy may only be an emotion, but this emotion can sometimes create a great chaos in relationships. Examples from both history and daily life have shown that it can destroy friendships and create rivalry. It could turn a romantic relationship into...

Sex differences in romantic jealousy have been widely reported in the recent psychological literature. According to this literature, men are more likely than women to report being more distressed at sexual than emotional infidelity. There are two explanations for this difference: an evolutionary psychological and a social cognitive explanation. According to the evolutionary psychological account, men and women exhibit differences in jealousy because they faced different reproductive challenges during human evolution. According to the social cognitive account, men and women exhibit these differences because they have been socialised to believe that attachment and sex are weighted differently by each gender. In this study, 268 participants completed a questionnaire designed to compare predictions based on these two theories. The results are generally consistent with the evolutionary account. Men are more distressed by sexual infidelity than by emotional infidelity, and this is not accounted for by beliefs about jealousy that...

...of Jealousy
Studies have shown that people with high levels of jealousy often have a strong desire for revenge. The feeling of envy or jealousy occurs in almost every human body, whether the person flaunts the emotion, or ignores it. Jealousy is typically known as a situation when a person resents another person because of their success, which the resentful person wishes to have. It is extremely challenging for any person to truly congratulate a friend or family member on accomplishing a goal that the person himself is yearning to achieve. Jealousy has a strong reputation of destroying important relationships, and can prevent people from acting in their usual rational manner, leading to harmful situations. Jealousy is commonly described as rancorous or bitter, and is rooted from anger and envy. It is a rather difficult concept to interpret, however, after reading the famous biblical book of Genesis, a person will acquire a much better understanding of where jealousy comes from and what the outcome generally turns out to be. Due to failure to impress, favoritism, and natural benefits, jealousy unfortunately occurs often, and primarily results in physical harm or conflict between loved ones.

...Normally you have to listen to the boring facts before getting started; unfortunately, you will not avoid them this time either. However, it’s probably nice for you to know who writes what you’re going to read and why I have ended up writing this book to help you.
You will quickly discover that my book is quite different from many other things that you’ve might read about jealousy. The reason is that my book is more a personal portrayal, rather than a professional book built on a lot of inspiration. The advantage is that you’ll get a very authentic look at jealousy, and it contains a lot of inspiration to keep yourself free from jealousy, without having to feel you are reading text from a psychologist. (Not because there is something wrong with going to a psychologist.)
Just so you know, if you read my book to do something about your jealousy, there is a lot of hope for you, because you’ve actually moved beyond the 80% of all others who are jealous and are doing nothing about it. You have acknowledged that you are jealous and need to do something about it fast as possible. You have taken the responsibility without blaming it on others. Well done! It’s important for me to say, that if you don’t take the responsibility yourself, you will keep being jealous until you do.

People have personal insecurities that tend to make out as jealousy. No matter if it’s a relationship or a friendship. Many characters possessed some type of insecurity that allowed them to have a jealous tendency. This not only happened in the play but it could also happen in real life. Othello is the most famous literary work that focuses on the dangers of jealousy. The play is a study of how jealousy can be fueled by mere circumstantial evidence and can destroy lives. It’s interesting how every character has their individual jealousy. But, they share similar traits of jealousy. Which is in the same type of form.
In Othello, jealousy takes place in many forms, from sexual suspicion to professional competition, but most of all, hate.

...Jealousy
Three who come unbidden: love, jealousy and fear.
-----------Carl Sandburg
Jealousy that is one of the Seven Sins in Christianity is a feeling of jealous envy. For every person, despite the variety in races, environments and civilizations, jealousy is a kind of human nature. Jealousy is a negative emotional expression and will harm to our physical and mental health. In order to gain the rights, having vanity or in the peers, the jealousy will have impact on people.
In most cases, we are jealous of people who have rights or priorities. Many people compete in order to gain the rights. However, jealousy is hierarchical. Only two competitors in the same field of competition will have jealousy and jealous behavior. Firstly, we just envy that they have the power. If we just keep the envy of others and don’t work hard, the envy will become the jealousy. We begin to have malicious thought and be hostile to these people.
Jealousy has burning desire and it frames themselves readily into imaginations and suggestions. It also comes into eyes easily. We are now in a more impetuous society. People’s vanity usually occupies more important position. Sometimes I don’t deny that the vanity is positive but it usually brings the negative influence. Vanity makes us be jealous of others and want to...

...Advertisement (ad)
Definition:
Paid, non-personal, public communication about causes, goods and services, ideas, organizations, people, and places, through means such as direct mail, telephone, print, radio, television, and internet. An integral part of marketing, advertisements are public notices designed to inform and motivate. Their objective is to change the thinking pattern (or buying behavior) of the recipient, so that he or she is persuaded to take the action desired by the advertiser. When aired on radio or television, an advertisement is called a commercial. According to the Canadian-US advertising pioneer, John E. Kennedy (1864-1928), an advertisement is "salesmanship in print."
Marketing mix
Main article: Marketing mix
The marketing mix has been the key concept to advertising. The marketing mix was suggested by Professor E. Jerome McCarthy in the 1960s. The marketing mix consists of four basic elements called the four P’s. Product is the first P representing the actual product. Price represents the process of determining the value of a product. Place represents the variables of getting the product to the consumer like distribution channels, market coverage and movement organization. The last P stands for Promotion which is the process of reaching the target market and convincing them to go out and buy the product.

...certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Insanity defines a “mental illness” of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct his or her affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior. Insanity distinguishes from low intelligence or mental deficiency due to age or injury. Insanity may manifest as violations of societal norms, including a person becoming a danger to themselves or others, though not all such acts are considered insanity. In modern usage insanity is most commonly encountered as an informal unscientific term denoting mental instability, or in the narrow legal context of the insanity defense.
In the derivation of the word insanity lies its definition. In English, the word sane derives from the Latin adjective sanus meaning healthy. The word insanity was first used in the 1550s. Naturally the word insane means unhealthy. From Latin insanus meaning mad, insane, then comes the root of in meaning not, in Latin. The phrase mens sana in corpore sano is often translated to mean a healthy mind in a healthy body. In law, mens rea means having had criminal intent, or a guilty mind, when the act was committed.
From this perspective, insanity can be considered as poor health of the mind, not necessarily of the brain as an organ. Rather it refers to defective function of mental processes such as reasoning. Back in early history, individuals believed that insanity began...

...Critically analyse this assertion in light of the problems associated with the precise definition
The study of religion may be as old as humankind itself according to one author. Defining religion is difficult as there are many definitions as there are many authors. The word religion is the most difficult to define because of the lack of a universally accepted definition. Specifically the root meaning of the word religion can be traced to Latin. Relegare or religion means to bind oneself, emanating from the Latin religio, which is translated to re-read emphasising tradition passing from generation to generation. Douglas Davies says “some have simply described religion as a belief in spiritual beings.” (10). In the book The World Religion there is a suggestion of approaches for tackling the question of religion such as viewing it anthropologically, sociologically, through history, in a scholarly way, theologically and by reductionism. In this paper I will try and assess the definition of religion from aforementioned views and identify the problems of defining religion.
James Cox states that in their introductory textbook on religion the American scholars Hall, Pilgrim and Cavanagh identify four characteristic problems with traditional definitions of religion; these are: vagueness, narrowness, compartmentasation and prejudice (9). The authors argue that vagueness means there are so many...
